is causing high priority regression PR 8564. The testcase for this PR is
------------------------
struct A { static char* p; };

int i = 1;
char* A::p = new char[i];

void foo() {}

It fails like so:
bash-2.05$ ../gcc/bin-2001-01-02/gcc/cc1plus -O -quiet PR8564.cc
PR8564.cc: In function `void __static_initialization_and_destruction_0(int, int)':
